You know the drill. If you had a billion dollars and a billion free hours, what would you do?
Here’s what I’ve figured out as of 12/21/2007.
In no specific order:
- Quit my job. Duh.
- Sell my house.
- Buy my family members whatever they want (within reason).
- Travel around Europe for 6 months.
- Create a large scholarship program for hard-working students with a 3.5+ GPA and a household income less than $30,000.
- Buy 50+ wooded acres somewhere with mild winters and 30 minutes from a city of at least 50,000 (perhaps near Asheville, NC).
- Design and build a house on said land. House plans to include at least 3000sqft of shop space with a hydraulic lift for car work.
- Buy an E30 BMW M3
- Restore pre-1975 Volkswagen Beetle. Make it have fuel injection, electronic ignition control, and 300HP.
- Do the same to a Volkswagen Type 3 “Squareback”.
- Learn (or learn better): Electronics, welding, metal forming, composite laying, home eletrical wiring, photography, painting
- Design and produce a state of the art and affordable engine management solution. This will require a hand-picked team of 10 bright people.
- Take the Accelerated Certification Program at EFI University.
- Attend motorsports events around the world.
- Pay off friends’ mortgages. Once.
- Spend 2 nights in the ICEHOTEL
- Buy a MIDI drum kit
